The Thirsty Crow opened in late April
on Sunset Blvd., and it’s already become a hotspot for nightlife in the Silver Lake district.
The bar gets its name from one of Aesop’s fables, in which a crow finds a jar
of whiskey, but is unable to drink because the whiskey is too far down in
the bottom of the jar for him to reach
it. He solves the problem by dropping
pebbles into the jar until the whiskey
level rises to the top and he’s able to
drink and quench his thirst.
The moral of the story? “Necessity is
the mother of invention.”
It looks like Los Angeles was in need
of a good bourbon bar because, not
only was this joint packed to the gills
on a Friday night, but it remained so
until closing.
The Thirsty Crow is officially a bourbon bar, but they open their arms
to all kinds of whiskey (or “whisky” if
it’s Scottish) and ryes. Their whiskey
cocktails are $12, and they offer a
wide range of mixed drinks, including a whole list of Manhattans as
well as their signature offering, The
Thirsty Crow, a refreshing concoction
of citrus, Jim Beam, bitters, and ginger
beer. You can also get sparkling wine
cocktails for $10, draft beers for $7,
and beers in a bottle or can for $5.
In this eclectic crowd, you can rub
elbows with party girls winding up
a night of dancing with champagne
cocktails, local hipsters talking politics
over Pabst Blue Ribbon, and couples
enjoying a date night and the best
whiskey sours they’ve ever had.
The décor is retro without being
kitschy. With walls of exposed brick
and accents in stained wood, The
Thirsty Crow is all set to become the
Cheers of Los Angeles. But the people
working here are so much cooler than
Sam, Diane, Woody and Carla. The
wait staff is young and friendly; they
constantly cruise the room, looking
for people who need helping.

Cool, Calm, and Eclectic: The Thirsty Crow Bar
bartenders are cheerful and efficient, working quickly to fill the flood of
orders raining down like pebbles to the bottom of a jar.
The music is upbeat, but mellow: lots of jazz standards and classic oldies. It’s kept at a good volume for conversation, although the buzz of a
capacity crowd shouting to be heard eventually reaches a dull roar.
The Thirsty Crow is the perfect place for a relaxed drink with friends.
This local watering hole will soon be as widely known as the fable for
which it was named.

There are many myths surrounding

the fabled drink containing wormwood. Just as gin is said to make
one melancholy, Absinthe has inspired tales of the green fairy, hallucinogenic experiences and inducing
unparalleled creativity. Van Gogh
was a fan, as were Manet, ToulouseLautrec, Picasso and Hemmingway.
Absinthe has been the choice of
drink for bohemian thinkers for
over 200 years; this may be attributed just as much to its reputation as
it is to the actual effect of the drink.
This is a brief review of my experiences with the fabled beverage.
Popular culture heralds absinthe as
a vivid green drink that has the potential to be both a poison and an
aphrodisiac. It gets this reputation
from one of the active ingredients
known as Thujone, which was once
though responsible for creating hallucinations and delirium. In reality
this is simply not true as Thujone
works on a different set of eceptors
in the brain, and in reality is present
in only small amounts in Absinthe.
In addition to this, Absinthe actually
starts off as a clear drink, the colour
is added after the distillation, and
the green colour comes from natural plant pigments hence the tales
of green fairies associated with the
drink.
It was more than likely the artificial
colourings and other adulterants
added to cheap derivatives of the
drink during the 19th century that
led to the ill effects associated with
the drink, and traditional colourings
are harmless.
The traditional way to prepare the
drink is by pouring one jigger into
a special glass, then placing a cube
of sugar on a slotted spoon and dipping it in the measure to allow the

sugar to be infused. Resting the
cube and spoon on top of the glass,
a specialised dripper is used to
drip water over the cube and into
the Absinthe until it is cloudy and
slightly diluted.
I found this method of preparation produced a euphoric state with
heightened clarity, unlike other alcoholic beverages which tend to
produce a somewhat hazy experience.
Another Absinthe favourite is an
aptly named Earthquake. This is
made my mixing equal parts absinthe and cognac. I had the fortune to share several of these drinks
with a dear friend who was also into
photography, and almost true to
the myths that surround the drink,
we were inspired to create a whole
body of work and spent an entire
evening embracing the clarity and
creativity produced by the concoction. However, we did not experience any hallucinations, did not see
any fairies, green or blue, did not
have any seizures, and by all intents
and purposes were not delirious. To
us it seemed that Absinthe is just
another type of alcohol that has a
different effect to any other. It must
be stressed however, that it is an incredibly strong drink, and as with all
alcohol must be consumed responsibly and only by adults of legal
drinking age.

Loading livestock into a bus is
illigal in Florida... umm why did they
have to spell that out??

A group of crows is called a murder.

A chimpanzee was once tried in
court for smoking...
ok, so what was the judge smoking to make
this seem like a good idea?

For us carnivores the words raw and
vegan usually send us screaming and
running away in fear. However, the
latest Raw/ Vegan restaurant that just
opened in Echo Park may change your
mind. Mooi, located at 1700 W Sunset
Blvd is a restaurant and dessert bar
that serves up healthy organic meat
free options with all ingredients being
sourced locally. Prior to opening, the
restaurant retailed some products in
Naturewell located in Silver Lake.
The restaurant will serve such tasty
morsels as basil pesto pizza made
with sweet potato crust, beat fettuccini with cilantro pesto and jack fruit
enchiladas in coconut tortillas with

spicy tomato sauce. Make sure you
save plenty of room for dessert as the
dessert and ice cream menu is not to
be missed. Serving such mouth- watering desserts as cherry cheesecake
with Brazil nut crust and a gooey cherry cobbler that melts in your mouth.
Plus the ice cream menu is pretty extensive with some traditional

flavors like Chocolate, Vanilla and
Peppermint Chip as well as some
rather unique ones such as Black
Pepper and Mustard Popcorn, Pistachio with Saffron and Cardamom
and Maple Cornbread. In fact, recently Mooi put the word out and
had a contest for ice cream lovers to
create a flavor that they would like
to see on the Mooi ice cream menu.
The winning ice cream flavor would
appear on the Mooi menu and
the winner made a creation called
Cracker Jack, which was salted caramel ice cream with peanuts and
peanut butter swirl. The winner also
receives a container of 32 ounces of
their very own ice cream.
Mooi also offers up a catering
menu for both small intimate gatherings as

raw

&
?

vegan

well as large group events.
You can either choose from
their menu or they can create
dishes based on your personal needs. In fact the website
says, “Any special requests
you may have we welcome
and encourage.” So if you
have some crazy raw vegan
food idea for your next event
contact Mooi as they seem
ready, able and willing for the
challenge.
Mooi is open Monday- Satwebs.pnlmagazine.com

urday from 8am-3pm
Wednesday - Saturday 6pm11pm. Also check out Mooi

Culver City has become quite the a youth, is a British Gastropub with a twist.

Mecca of entertainment and dining in the last couple of years. One
of the hottest dining choices that
just opened is Waterloo & City,
which is brought to the fair city of
Culver by none other than Executive Chef and Proprietor Brendan

NOT
to be

missed...

British food so often gets a bad rap, but the
dishes served here will make anyone become
a convert to the British dining experience.
Serving such dishes as Manchester Quail with
Chopped Liver on Toast to Roast Chicken with
Wild Mushroom Pot Pie, the selections focus
on what is in season with fresh ingredients
from the local farmer’s market. A selection of
cured meats, and pates including Foie Gras
are not to be missed. For the true anglophile
the restaurant offers a cheese cart with a
hearty selection of cheeses from Britain and
Europe.
The restaurant itself was designed by Thoreen
& Ritter and blends the tradition of a classic
pub with some modern whimsical accents.
Recycled church pews of various bright pink,
orange and brown colors provide seating.
There is a large table in the main dining room
with large high backed chairs along with a
large, lush front patio providing additional
room to eat and drink. That’s right you can’t
forget the drink. With a selection of twentyfive white and twenty-five red wines as well
as more than twenty-five beers and traditional British cocktails to choose from including
some British traditions such as Primm’s Cup,
and Rickey’s made with fresh juice and purees, you may never want to leave.
The restaurant is located at 12517 Washington Blvd, Culver City CA 90066. It is open
for dinner all week long starting at 5pm. On
Fridays and Saturdays the restaurant is open
till midnight, a rarity for Culver City, with the

the street or at the local lots.

wine

nice restaurant and ordered a bottle of
expensive wine? When the waiter or waitress brought it over, did he or she show
you the label before uncorking it? Did
you understand anything on that label,
or did you simply scan it and nod just for
show? Many people are at a loss when it
comes to reading wine labels, whether it's
at a restaurant or in a wine store; to them,
it's all just fancy numbers and letters and
means no more to them than the chemicals contained in a can of Coke.
If you know a little bit about wines,
you're already well on your way to understanding the wine labels. They
typically tell you, at a glance, the
alcohol content, the growing
region, bottle volume, name
of the wine, quality and type
of wine, the producer, and the
variety and vintage.
The alcohol content and bottle volume may be the easiest
to recognize on a wine label.
The alcohol content is a percentage, usually around 12%13%. In the U.S., the minimum
alcohol for table wine is 7%,
and 14% for the maximum.
The bottle content is typically
listed in milliliters, usually 750,
or 1.5 liters. If the volume is not
printed on the wine label, it
will be on the bottle itself.
The growing region may be
a bit difficult since American
wines are classified by grape
type such as shiraz or zinfandel, whereas many wines from
Europe have their growing region as the name of the wine.
Just look for both on the wine
label and if you only see one,
you know it's the growing region on a European wine.
Becoming familiars with producers when it comes to wine
may be one of the most important aspects of finding a good

bottle, and when you learn some of the best producers you can quickly scan for them on a wine label. While everyone's taste is of course subjective,
you can think of a wine producer as being like a
movie producer. You're more likely to get a good
movie out of a familiar name like Spielberg, Coppola, or Lucas than you will some unfamiliar talent.
Being able to recognize wine producers on the wine
label will mean that you're more likely to enjoy the
contents.
When you see the phrase varietal content on a
wine label, know that this is the variety of wine, or
type of grape the wine was made with. Remember
that France and Italy do not reveal this information
on their wine labels, so there may be some confusion.
The quality of wine is something awarded
by wine regions and is also as subjective as
movie ratings. If you see a rating of quality on a wine label, do not automatically
assume that you personally will enjoy it.

interview :

ivy

webs.pnlmagazine.com 14

Q: Hi_Ivy, were happy to be able to have
an interview for our magazine, our first
question is, What made you get into
Modeling ?

Q: What was your best
experience when you were
first starting out and what
was the highlights ?

A: I started learning about my sexuality
at a young age, I remeber being like 8 and
pretending to strip for guys on chairs,
ha! When I started learning about how
much power those type of women could
have, I’m like damn I’m there! Penthouse,
Hustler, Playboy.. I wanted to be one of
those girls VERY badly. Its funny cause as
I got into my early teens everyone noticed
me, calling me beautiful, saying I should
serioustly model. I was going through a
“rebel” faze at the time and just wanted
to focus on a music career. My mom even
forced me to take a runway class when I
was about 13. It wasn’t until I was about
17 that I started commercil modeling.

A: When I first started out I
entered this Swimsuit shoot
off contest in Vernon, B.C. I
was so excited for it and it
was a blast. I was 17 at the
time. I won fifth place in the
overall competition and 3rd
in peoples choice so I got to
be in this UK magazine and
calender that had the whole
event posted in it. I thought
that was pretty neat at the
time.

Q: How old were you when you first
thought about a carreer in Modeling ?
A: When I first started thnking about a
serious career in modeling, like saying
hey, you know what? I could really do this
.. I was 17. Thats when I began coming
out of my “rebel” faze. Alot changed for
me in that year.
Q: What was your first photoshoot like ?
A: I move around a lot, like ushualy a
few different towns a year so I met this
girl who later on became a good friend
of mine and she introduced me to this
photograper who was shooting models
in that area. My first REAL photoshoot
was pretty chill, I had my sister with me.
We ended up mainly taking headshots.
I’ve always really enjoyed getting my
picture taken, it was a lot of fun.

Q: What was one of your
worst experiences that you
have had modeling to date ?
A: I mean I haven’t really
had any bad experiences.
Sometimes shooting nudes
guys will make innaproperate
jokes and stuff like that but
really nothing to harsh..
Q: Where were you born ?
What made you move to San
Diego? Name some of the
emotional highlights of the
move and decision to turn
professional.
A: Gosh, I could wright a book
on my life story of how I got
here. I was born in Smithers,
B.C, I moved around ALOT
like all over B.C, & I was in
Toronto for a while. I met the
con’t on next page

ferguson - USA

webs.pnlmagazine.com 15

con’t from last page
bass player for my favorite
band and I actuially moved
in with him on the first date.
Litteraly, the date lasted a
month and then I moved in,
Ha! I also took the train down
here, it was a beautiful drive,
took 3 days. I love to travel
and am very adventerous
so it was stellar! So, that is
how I got down to Southern
California, he’s originaly from
Brazil but we live together
down here now. Its great
down here. I’ve been down
here for about a year now
and get tones of modeling
work. I’ve been kinda taking
it easy lately though cause I
am getting some work done.
Q: Where do you see yourself
in 10 years ?
A: 10 years? Gosh, well if
my life goes the way I want
it to at the moment, then
I’d say, it would be nice to
be settled down and have
a kid by then. I’ll be 30 so
my modeling career will be
pretty much over. I’m going
to be really focused on that
for the next little while. So far
its going really good for me.
Depending on where I am at,
I’m thinking about broadway
opportunitys. They are not
so picky on age so in my
30s I think would be a great
opportunity to pursuite that.
Q How supportive were
friends and family ?
A: My family are very
supportive on me. Like I
said I move around a lot so I
wouldn’t con’t on next page
webs.pnlmagazine.com 16

say that I have to many friends.. Never
enough time to make any lasting ones,
but my family are great about it! When I
lived in Canada, my sister would always
come with me and watch and help out..
It’s great.
Q: Your thoughts on Nude work ?
A:Well, I mean, I love nude/adult modeling.
After I get my work done I am going to
do more with that. Nude models make
waaayy more than non-nude models. For
a non nude model it is way harder in the
buisness. Glamor model is fun and all but
posing nude has to be one of my favorite
things in the world!
Q: What are your views on professional
models being 20 Lbs underweight and
what do you do to keep healthy ?
A: I don’t understand what you mean
by proffesional model. Like I am a
proffesional model for instance, I would I
probably weigh less than average but I am
not like 80 pounds or nothing. For runway
models I think being crazy underweight
is how it is supposed to be. If you like to
eat and stuff then don’t get into runway
modeling, also dn’t get breast implants.
They need girls who are skinnny, tall and
flat chested. I love big boobs so thats
what I do comercial modeling, Ha. So my
opinion on the underweight thing is yea,
I think that is the way it should be if you
are in that feild of modeling. I wouuld
say I am a very healthy person, I work
out everyday, even if I do quick 15 minute
tonning excersize if I am really busy. I love
to work out, hiking, swimming, jogging,
dancing. I am also a vegitarian so I eat
plenty of veggies!
Q: What are your thoughts on agency
representation for Actors and Models ?
Some people feel strongly that agencies
are a waste of time and it’s just as easy
to get work by representing yourself…
what are your thoughts on this ?

A: Umm.. for actors I would say
maybe an agencie would be
great but for modeling I think if
a little different. It all depends
on what you want to do. Like
being sponsored by Playboy
or something would be a little
different. But if you wanted
to be in playboy and had a
contract with another angency
then you are stuck! For how ever
long you signed up with them
for. Depending on how your
connections are I’d say its better
to stay off on your own until you
know exactly what you want.
Q: What would your advice be
to a 14 year old with ambitions
of becoming a model or actor ?
A: My advice would be .. go
for it! Don’t give up, there will
always be tons of competition
and if you feel you don’t like
something about yourself then
change it! There isn’t anything
that can’t be changed. Its to
easy giving up, you gotta fight
for it. I love it though, so if you
have an interest I would say go
for it, if you find you love it too,
then start planning a career.
Thank you for taking the time
to talk with International
Model and Photographer
Magazine….any last thoughts,
advice or comments you
would like our readers to know
about you ?
A: I’m really looking forward
to the next year or so, I plan on
really followng through with
everything that I have been
working for. Thanks, for having
me! Later!

Southern

Fashions

2013

Casual, clingy and oh so soft. They are here now
and ready for you to take home. They are the latest trend in spring and summer fashions and I’ve
tried them all.
Model Cotton is the world’s softest fiber. Shirts
for this summer in model cotton have elegant fit,
yet a casual and comfortable to wear. The stretch
is amazing as these slinky shirts cling to the body.
They are a bit sheer, but I could still wear without
feeling naked. Long sleeves, short sleeves, sleeveless tanks, I want them all. The neutral colors can
match almost any wardrobe. These shirts are designed by TQM Apparel Group in Los Angeles, CA.
Also from TQM Apparel Group is the trendy Micro
Jersey Long Sleeve Hoody dress. It’s sexy, yet an
imperfect gal like me, could still wear and look hot
and ready to play. Well sort of. It’s soft and lightweight for warm weather. It is casual and cool with
a stylish hoodie and square pockets. Available in
black, white and fuchsia, which is my favorite. I
wore the fuchsia hoody to the grocery store and
got some looks from the men , it’s about time

Fashions

time. Pair with some leggings and you are wearing the
current trend.
These are available in junior sizes only. So if you don’t
have that youthful body, the stretch and comfort of the
fabric might still work for the more mature figure.
Another trend for the season is the polyester cotton
burnout fabric used for clingy shirts. The shirts give an
alluring look on the body. They look almost see through
but they are really not. Wear with a tank underneath or
nothing at all. These shirts are creatively designed by Kavio, in southern California. Try a burnout hoodie or shirt.
Long and short sleeve tees that are so trendy you need
to be wearing this style.. There’s matching tanks too. Pair
up with some capris or jeans and you are ready for this
seasons fashion trends.
Ladies are lucky for this style is available in girls, juniors
and women’s sizes. They are so trendy and youthful. How
nice for the matured bodied woman to be able to wear
this style and have it fit the grown up body. Juniors and
girls are available too.
This season’s trends are for the female that leads 99 lives
at a time. She needs comfort, style and easy movement in
our hectic world.

California Style
Style in California can be defined by the beautiful state itself with laid-back beaches, glamorous
Hollywood and a diverse mix of residents, California stimulates style. Californian fashionistas pull
from what’s trendy, mixes it with individuality and
matches it with the season.
So to label Californians style by a few trends and
looks would be insulting as California is where creativity in what you wear flows and individual looks
are accepted and encouraged.
If you want to look golden in The Golden State, follow these 3 simple ‘loose’ guidelines for a true Cali
style that is unique to you.

Look better in any weather

yes,
it does

rain
here

Yes, California is sunny most of the time but believe it or not it rains, it
sometimes even snows! Make sure to match your look to the weather because there is no way better to spot a tourist than seeing one in a tank top
in shorts in the middle of a down pour.

Utilize Trends that Work for you
Plaid, floral, menswear, it’s all popular right now but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right look for you. Californians know how to work
it if it works. Also, don’t go head to toe in one trend (all plaid will make
you look like a lumberjack!) choose pieces and mix them up with your
own style.

Get Inspired
California has so much to offer from its beautiful coast, fun theme parks,
to the upscale Rodeo Drive. Take in the scenery, the activities, the people
and the culture of the state and let it show in your wardrobe.
Fall in love with California and it’s fashion by being current while being
yourself.

For a group of ambitious-high
energy thrill seekers jumping out of
airplanes, leading parades, throwing parties, and traveling around
the world has become a way of life.
These thrill seekers call this lifestyle
the BucketList Lifestyle and they are
now travelling around the world
promoting this way of life. For instance, during the Winter Olympics
the entire team was in attendance
to cross things off their BucketList
like… meet Sir Richard Branson,
throw a gold medal Hockey game
party, and lead a street parade.
At first, the community was small
and only based in Vancouver, but
the word spread quickly. Now people around the world are starting to
catch word of this movement and
are finding anyway they can to be
part of the excitement. People everywhere just want to live the BucketList Lifestyle… it has become an
infectious craze that could be bigger
then Harry Potter or the Twilight Series. The only question is what part
will you play in this movement that
is picking up speed and that has the
potential to change the world.
The demand for living this type
of lifestyle has been so high that it
has forced the company to create
training material to support more
and more people in living out their
dreams. Elite Living International
Inc. the company behind the BucketList Project is already hosting
“BucketList Retreats” around the
world, putting on training events
called the “DreamTrainer Program”,
and the company has just released
the companies flagship product the

means that now anyone can become a BucketList Lifestyle trainer
and actually make money living and
teaching the BucketList Lifestyle.
The opportunity to live out your
dreams and start crossing things
off your BucketList may be MUCH
closer then you first imagined… the
choice is yours.
As a community the BucketList
Crew has grouped together to start
crossing some pretty ambitions
things off their list:

#1: Getting on the Oprah
Winfrey Show
#2: Going to Space
#3: Racing NASCAR as a team
#4: Writing a New York Times
best selling novel
Along with crossing fun, exciting, and adventurous
things off their own BucketList the team has made
a commitment to pass the gift on. The team is dedicated to help 100 other people around the world
achieve their dream by providing them with the
tools, resources, and the support to cross their wildest dream off their BucketList.

Do you have a dream that you need help to
cross off your list?:
Here are 3 things you can do to start living the
BucketList Lifestyle:

(1) Write you list of 100 things
you want to do with the rest of
your life!
(2) Share your list with a close
friend.
(3) Pick three things you can
cross off right now and set the
intention to GET THEM DONE!
If you’re like the BucketList Crew you’ll get
hooked right away, and won’t be able to turn
back. Soon you too may find yourself traveling
around the world to exotic locations like Aruba, Spain, and Costa and crossing your wildest
dreams off your BucketList.
Now is the time to start living the life of your
dreams, because before you know it you may
look back on this moment right now and say to
yourself, “I wish I took action!”

We all walk to the beat of our own drum.
Music, of some kind, has been an integral facet throughout humanity,
stemming from rhythmic tribal rituals to vocal expressions of praise or
sorrow. Because of our innate need for music, the invention of Thomas
Edison’s phonograph made it more accessible and personal. From
Classical to ragtime melodies, phonographs cranked into the wee
hours coupled with up-cropping radio stations, lead to the birth of
the music industry. The history of rock and roll is a time of excitement
veiled by political oxymorons, which therein has inadvertently
contributed to musical innovation for almost 70 years, and is the basis
for the songs we have come to know and perpetually love.

Pre Blues:
Understanding Rock and Roll is to first look at the forefathers of
Blues and gain a sense of the underlying socioeconomic history of
this American era. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade of the 1600-1700’s
transported many Africans from the West Coast of Africa to American
ports, and with them came their deeply embedded percussive and
rhythmic roots. Slaves became “versed in European and American
dance and classical music” that was already prevalent in Colonial
America, and the two styles eventually combined (WL Porter, A
Malnarick).
From this amalgamation of two very different musical styles came
Negroe folk-spirituals and work songs. Folk-spirituals emerged from
Protestant hymns and spiritual music, and this became the foundation
for the common structure of the blues (WL Porter, A Malnarick). In his
autobiography The Father of the Blues, WC Handy who was born of
freed slaves, describes how music was played in slavery days, “A boy
would stand behind the fiddler with a pair of knitting needles in his
hands. From this position the youngster would reach around the
fiddler’s left shoulder and beat on the strings in the manner of a snare
drum.” The fiddler also stomped while singing a tune like:
“Sally got a meat skin laid away
Sally got a meat skin laid away
Sally got a meat skin laid away
To grease her wooden leg every day”
(Handy, WC. The Father of the Blues. Ed. Arna W. Bontemp. New York:
MacMillan, 1941)

The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles
Towering above the city of Los
Angeles, the Ritz-Carlton hotel is a
symbol of luxury and elegance that
embodies the Hollywood lifestyle
of its residents. The 2.5 billion dollar entertainment district of downtown that began with the inception
of Staples Center, the home of the
Los Angeles Lakers, culminates in
grand fashion with the Ritz. Nestled
around this gem is a montage of fine
dining and entertainment: relax
and catch breathtaking panoramic
views of the L.A. skyline from the
Club Lounge—23 stories up—tour
the Nokia Theater, get a glimpse of
the Grammy Museum, catch a Lakers game, or dine at your pick of
thirteen different restaurants in L.A.
Live. General Manager of Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC says, “The
Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles provides
another dimension to this exciting
and active area, which is now a true
destination for travelers and local
residents.”
The Ritz-Carlton opened its doors
officially on April 2nd, 2013 and
features a 54-story tower with 123
guest rooms, 13 suites, and a grandiose Ritz-Carlton suite. The Ritz has
something for every taste, sporting
an exclusive 3,400 square feet, RitzCarlton Club Lounge. For seventy
dollars per day, Ritz residents get
treated to VIP treatment: a non-stop
round of snacks, drinks, and intimate
ambience.

Wolfgang Puck brings his own
flavor and some Asian sizzle
to the hotel by making the
24th floor of the Ritz home for
his new restaurant, WP24. If
that’s not enough, immerse
yourself in the one-of-a-kind,
eight-thousand square foot
Ritz-Carlton Spa, a full-service
luxury spa that will soothe
your senses and create an aura
of calm. The spa comes fully
equipped with nine treatment
rooms, aromatherapy steam
rooms, cold plunge showers,
and an ipod docking station
to fully grant liberation from
the lightning-paced L.A. lifestyle. When the darkness of
the night smothers away your
energy, rest assured that each
of the 123 rooms will offer
the ultimate respite from the
real world: feather beds, deep
full-size bathtub, lightweight
bathrobe, television in the
bathroom, wireless internet,
24-hour-in-room dining, bath
menu services, and the list
goes on.
Unlike many hotels, the RitzCarlton is a haven for the traveling businessman. Not only
is there 100,000 square feet
of meeting space—including
three ballrooms—but there
are also a wide variety of business services: conference

concierge, audio-visual
equipment for presentations, shipping services,
and a complete business
center, with high-speed
internet access, color
copier, fax, and scanning
services.
Now this is what you
call Showtime.

ourism is one of California’s top industries. In fact, it’s number two in Los
Angeles, right after – as you’d expect
– the entertainment industry.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are
spent each year by the state, by municipalities, by visitor & convention
bureaus, and by hotels and travel services to promote California as a visitor
destination. And it’s paid off: tourism
generated $87.7 billion in spending
in California in 2009 (though that’s a
drop of 10% over the previous year).
But when Californians travel, where
do they go? Californians themselves
are the mainstay of the state’s travel
and tourism industry, comprising 79%
of trips and 86% of stays in 2008. Here
are the top ten most popular places
Californians visit when they hit the
road:
Los Angeles and Orange County –
Hollywood, Universal Studios, Warner
Brothers, Disneyland, and the beach
cities continue to beckon all corners
of the state.
Las Vegas – the biggest stream of visitors comes from Southern California,
from San Diego up to Santa Barbara.
Last year, 31% of all Sin City tourists
came from California, and they spent
an average of $590 during their stays.
Yosemite – the national park draws
visitors from all over the Golden State,
with a particularly significant number
coming from Central and Northern
California.
San Francisco – not only a favorite
among Californians, the city by the
bay is one of the most-visited cities in
the U.S.

Napa Valley – wine country lures tourists
from every California community; a large
number come from Northern California.
San Diego – a temperate climate and an
appealing variety of family vacation activities, including a world-famous zoo, are big
draws.
Lake Tahoe – a year-round vacation destination, offering boating, skiing, and gambling.
Other U.S. cities – three of the most frequently visited are New York, Chicago, and
Boston.
Europe and Asia – though travel from
California has been down the last couple
of years, perennial favorites are the British Isles, Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, and
China.
South America and the Caribbean – Brazil, Argentina, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda,
and Jamaica are popular destinations.
Californians love to travel. Expectations –
according to visitor & convention bureaus
– remain high that 2013 will see them
packing their suitcases and making reservations again in record numbers as the
national and state economies improve.

It’s time once again to review the win- 5th Place: Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was
ners of the Annual “Stella Awards.”
The Stella Awards are named after 81
year-old Stella Liebeck of New Mexico
who spilled hot coffee on herself and
successfully sued McDonald’s. That case
inspired the Stella awards for the most
frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits
in the United States.

Here are this year’s winners:

leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since
the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn’t
re-enter the house because the door connecting the house
and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on
vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage
for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a
large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner’s insurance
claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The
jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.

7th Place: Kathleen Robertson of Aus- 4th Place:

Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was

6th Place:

19-year-old Carl Truman
of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical
expenses when his neighbor ran over his
hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at
the wheel of the car when he was trying to
steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.

2nd Place: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, success-

fully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when
she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked
out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid
paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and
dental expenses.

1st Place:

This year’s runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a
brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home.
On her first trip home, (from an OU football
game), having driven onto the freeway, she
set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly
left the drivers seat to go into the back &
make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly,
the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for
not advising her in the owner’s manual that
she couldn’t actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home.
The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there
were any other complete morons around.

A BELL IN A PIECE OF COAL??
In Scientific American ( June 1951, Vol. 7, p. 298) a report was given concerning a
metallic vase that had been dynamited out of solid rock on Meeting Horse Hill
in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The report read, “On putting the two parts together it formed a bell-shaped vessel, 4 1/2 inches high, 6 l/2 inches at the base, 2 1/2
inches at the top and about an eighth of an inch in thickness.
The body of the vessel resembles zinc in color, or a composition metal in which
there is a considerable portion of silver. On the sides there are six figures of a
flower, a bouquet, beautifully inlaid with pure silver, and around the lower
part of the vessel, a vine, or wreath, inlaid also with silver.
The chasing, carving and inlaying are exquisitely done by the art of some cunning craftsman. This curious and unknown vessel was blown out of the solid
pudding stone, fifteen feet below the surface.”

MASSIVE SKELETONS FOUND!
A. Present day modern man which averages about 6-feet tall + or several inches or more. B. 15-foot human skeleton found in southeast Turkey in late 1950’s in the Euphrates valley during road construction. Many tombs containing giants were uncovered here.
This pertains to the picture of the giant human femur and myself
above. C. Maximinus Thrax Ceaser of Rome 235-238 A.D. This was an
8’ 6” skeleton. D. Goliath was about 9 feet + or - a few inches. I Samuel 17:4 late 11th century. E. King Og spoken of in Deuteronomy 3:11
whose iron bedstead was approximately 14-feet by 6-feet wide. King
Og was at least 12-feet tall, yet some claim up to 18. F. A 19’6” human
skeleton found in 1577 A.D. under an overturned oak tree in the
Canton of Lucerne. G. 23-foot tall skeleton found in 1456 A.D. beside a river in Valence, France. H. A 25’ 6 “ skeleton found in 1613 A.D.
near the castle of Chaumont in France. This was claimed to be a
nearly complete find. I. Almost beyond comprehension or believability was the find of the two separate 36-foot human remains
uncovered by Carthaginians somewhere between 200-600 B.C.

HUMAN HORNED SKULL
During an archaeological dig in Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in the 1880s, a number of human skulls were unearthed.
These skeletons were anatomically correct, except for the
anomaly of their projections, two inches above the eyebrow,
and the fact that their average height in life would have been
around seven feet tall. The bones were sent to the American
Investigating Museum in Philadelphia, where they were stolen never to be seen again.
